"There were 45 Mormon congregations in Nebraska at the end of 1998 with a combined membership of 16,000. Along with five in Lincoln and 16 in Omaha, the gatherings of the faithful in eastern Nebraska include Columbus, Beatrice, Nebraska City, Fremont, Blair and Fairbury... Kearl said the Mormons weren't out to steal members. 'If our mission helps Methodists become better Methodists, then we've helped the Methodist Church,' he said. 'The biggest threat to any church holding its members is not any other church,' he added. 'It is Lucifer and the temptation we all fall victim to.' "

"The Mormon church plans to build a temple in Omaha, Neb., the first between St. Louis and Denver. Pending city approval, the temple will be built on 1.9 acres of land adjoining the historic Mormon Pioneer Cemetery. The area is known as Winter Quarters because Mormons camped there in 1846 after fleeing religious persecution in Illinois. No date has been set for construction on the temple that will serve 16,000 Mormons in Nebraska. "
